⚡️💬 TESTIMONIAL - $1.6 million dollars in Bitcoin was drained from my account on July 29th in the Cold Card wallet hack. My Bitcoin was in cold storage. My keys were on a ColdCard device kept in a safety deposit box that had never been connected to the internet. This part's nerdy, but here's what happened: Hackers discovered a vulnerability in the part of the hardware wallet code used to create seed phrases. This allowed them to use AI to brute force guessing seed phrases. I was at our cottage and heard about the hack today. "No way this affects me." I thought. I logged into Wasabi––software that lets me view my bitcoin wallets online. Right away I saw lines of red transaction–withdrawals–and I knew. From 9:36pm - 9:43pm on July 29th, every wallet I had had been emptied. 18.25245043 btc gone. That's just over $1.6 million dollars CAD. Perhaps the hardest part about this is that I did everything right. I never shared my seed phrase with anybody. My devices never touched the internet. Everything was kept in multiple safes and safety deposit boxes. None of it mattered. All because the hardware that created the seed phrase originally had one line in their code from 2021 that had a vulnerability. I'm filing a police report and a report with the Ontario Securities Commission. But I don't expect to recoup anything. A part of me is trying to make sense of what just happened. Or try to figure out a lesson in it. I'm struggling. $1.6 million is a staggering amount of money to have stolen. I guess all that I can think about right now is that I'm so damn happy that I'm an entrepreneur and that my earning potential is under my control. Mark my damn words. I'll recover.

⚡️👀 FACT - Cz: You may or may not know, TrustWallet faced this exact same bug as Coldcard years ago, a pseudo-random number generator, ie, not truly random, $12m in losses. They covered every user. Software will always have bugs. What matters is who’s behind it.

The company reported a strong quarter, with $586.4 million in revenue (up 78% year over year) and $89 million in profit, beating Wall Street’s expectations.

Reddit said AI is changing how people find content online, making traffic from search engines more unpredictable.

⚡️💬 SAD STORY - This is absolutely heartbreaking. This BTC holder spent eight years stacking Bitcoin, hoping to build enough financial security before turning 50. Living in a country affected by inflation and FATF sanctions, he trusted Bitcoin to protect his savings from a weakening currency. But after his Coldcard wallet was compromised and his entire 2 $BTC was drained. Years of hard work were wiped out in an instant. He says he no longer knows if he still believes in Bitcoin and even wonders if he should have moved everything into a Bitcoin ETF instead. "This Coldcard hack may cut deeper than any Bitcoin loss story I’ve seen since Mt. Gox..."

⚡️🚨 RESUME - Nearly 1,200 Coldcard cold wallets were emptied, and $70 million in Bitcoin was stolen in just 41 minutes. Yet the culprit never gained access to the victims’ devices, recovery phrases, or computers. He simply managed to reconstruct their seeds...... On July 30, an individual stole 1,082.65 $BTC—approximately $70 million—from 1,196 Coldcard wallets. The funds were transferred in several batches to four addresses. An attack carried out entirely offline The attacker did not need physical access to the devices, as the problem stemmed from the way certain seed phrases had been generated. A flaw in certain versions of the Coldcard firmware resulted in seed phrases that were far too predictable. The firmware was supposed to use a hardware random number generator. Due to a misconfiguration, some devices used a software generator based, in particular, on the chip’s serial number and data related to its internal clock. This information appeared random, but could in fact be reproduced or limited to a much smaller number of possibilities. The attacker could generate millions of candidate seeds on their own machines and then calculate the associated Bitcoin addresses. When a match was found, they obtained the same private key as the owner and could sign a valid transaction. The compromised wallets used several Bitcoin address formats, primarily native SegWit. Several generations of Coldcard devices may be affected, including the Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, Mk5, and Q, depending on the firmware used when the seed was generated. The attacker reportedly left a trail by using a paid account with a blockchain data provider to verify addresses during the attack. The recorded queries reportedly matched exactly the number, order, and timing of the drained wallets. This information has reportedly been shared with the authorities. Coldcard confirms the vulnerability and recommends immediately transferring funds to another wallet.

Loomer says, "We don't even have that in the United States" because it's free speech. "We have so much antisemitism in America." "Antisemitism is illegal in Ukraine.... You will go to jail."
